Metatron’s Cube is comprised of 13 equally sized circles, each of which have a line that comes out from the center and extends out to the centers of the other 12 circles.

There are actually six circles on the interior part placed in the pattern of a hexagon – all around a single circle placed in the center.

There are also six more circles extending out along those same radial lines.

Since there are 13 circles in Metatron’s cube, each of which have nodes or lines connecting to the other 12 circles, the symbol contains a total of 78 lines inside it.

Metatron’s Cube shares a peculiar resonance with something that is called the Flower of Life. In some ancient cultures, this flower of life, as well as Metatron’s cube, were very sacred geometric symbols.

•

Metatron’s Cube illustrates the five platonic solids, which are the believed to be structures that act as a foundation for all organic life. These five structures are the star tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron, which are found in life forms, minerals, music, sound, and language. Metatron’s Cube is also considered a holy symbol which can be used as protection from evil.

The Metatron, also known as the Metatron Cube, is a potent symbol within sacred geometry. The Metatron represents all things that exist in the known universe, no matter how great or how insignificant, and the unending flow of energy between everything in the universe.

Sacred Geometry

The symbol comes from sacred geometry, which is the study of the shapes and mathematical formulas that appear in nature to understand what they reveal about the universe. This trust stems from the observation that the same geometrical shapes and numbers appear repeatedly, but apparently randomly, within nature.

One important element within sacred geometry is Platonic Solids, named for the Greek Philosopher Plato. Platonic Solids are polygons that can be made with the same shape as all of their faces.

•

There are five Platonic Solids, each of which was associated with one of the elements that the Greeks trusted composed the universe:

•

• Tetrahedron: four triangle faces associated with Earth

• Cube: six square faces associated with Water

• Octahedron: eight triangle faces associated with Air

• Dodecahedron: twelve pentagram faces associated with Fire

• Icosahedron: twenty triangle faces associated with Spirit

The Platonic Solids are the basic elements that compose the Metatron.

•

The Symbol

The Metatron symbol starts with a central circle. It is surrounded by six further circles of the same size, forming a flower shape. Each of these circles then has one circle of the same size extending from it. This makes a total of thirteen circles.

•

The circles are connected a series of straight lines, which form the shapes that make up the faces of the Platonic Solids. In this way the lines represent how the energy of the universe, represented by the Platonic Solids, flow between all things.

When looking at the symbol, it is easy to see the way that all things are connected, and how pulling on one string will affect everything.
